499,708, filed August 23, ,1943) a process for the production of basic ethers of the general forv 31 Ar-XCO.Z

has been disclosed, in which formula Ar means an aromatic radical Q r X means the direct linkage or an organic radical which may also contain hetero atoms Y1 represents hydrogen or like 2 means a disubstituted aminoalkylradical,

It has now been found that amino'alkyl ethers of alcohols of the cycloaliphatic series as well as of thealiphaticseries having the'general formula 1 Y2 I I Y, wherein Y1 as well as Y2 mean a cycloaliphatic or aliphatic radical (including also unsaturated a great extent. Suchan effect could, oicourse,

not be foreseen, as such neurotropic, atropinelike properties have become known heretofore only for basic substituted esters and amides of hydroxy acid derivatives, for example of tropic acidQof amygdalicacid, of benzilic acid, or also corresponding derivatives of benzoic acid, of phenyl acetic acid and their hydrogenation products.

The aminoalkyl ethers of the above definition can be prepared according to various methods. For instance reactive esters of a-substituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic alcohols, e. g. the halides,

can .be caused to react, inthe presence ofiagents A binding hydrogenwhalides, with amino alcohols which are disubstituted at the nitrogen atom. Onthe other hand, also metal compounds of asubstituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic alcohols can be brought to interaction with reactive basic substituted alkyl esters. By the. expression reactive basic substituted alkyl esters may be understood the esters of "amino alcohols which are. -disl1bstituted at the nitrogen atom, especially esters with hydrogen'halide acids. Of course, also esters of aryl sulfonic acids and the like can also be used. When causing the same to react with metal salts of u-substituted cycloaliphatic or alipletely catalytically hydrogenated.

phatic alcohols, the alkali salts of the alcohols are particularly useful. A still further method of production consists in that correspondingly esterified a-substituted ethers, e. g. a-substituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic halogen alkyl ethers, are caused to react with secondary or tertiary amines. The preparation of the halogen alkyl ethers is carried out advantageously in such a manner that a-substituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic alcohols or their salts respectively are caused-to react with alkylene halogen hydrines or alkylene dihalides in the presence or absence of diluentsand that in the resulting compounds the hydroxyl groups which may be present are replaced by halogen.

As a-substituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic alcohols may be understood secondary alcohols. The substituents in a-position may be for example of aliphatic or hydroaromatic nature, For instance secondary a-substituted cycloaliphatic or aliphatic alcohols can be obtained by catalytical reduction of the corresponding ketones, Secondary alcohols may also be produced according to Grignard byinteraction of suitable halides with aldehydes "of a corresponding structure. Another method for preparing the basic ethers containing cycloaliphatic groups according to the present invention consistsin that the products claimed in Letters Patent. No. 2,397,799, such as then-substituted benzyl ether, are partly or comoxides [when starting from N-disubstituted aminoalkyl ethers.

f The appended claim is directed to a preferred compound according to the invention.

1 The new compounds may be used for thera- 1' peutical purposes.

The present invention is now illustrated by the following examples, without being limited thereto. The parts are by weight. ,Erample 1 To a suspension of .4 parts of powdered sodium amide, in parts of absolute benzene are added 'dropwise 14.5 parts of dieisobutyl carbinol and 'j the whole is stirred for 1 hour, at 60 0. Then 13 :parts of fi-chlorethyl diethylamine or 18 parts of B-bromethyl diethylamine are added, whereupon the mixturesis heated for 5 hours under reflux and stirring. After cooling, water is added and i the. mixture is extracted several times with 10% hydrochloric acid. The combined hydrochloric acid extracts are made alkaline by means of potassium carbonate, the base thus separated is extracted with ether, the ethereal solution washed with concentrated potassium carbonate solution, then dried over sodium sulfate and the ether is finally distilled off. The residue boils at'a pres--- sure of 14 mm. at 117-125 C. The' basi'c ether is clearly soluble in dilute acids.

According to this method .the wfollowings com-- pounds can be produced:
